Citalopram Newbie looking for support (of course)

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hi everyone

3rd day in and can definitely feel the side effects, they seem more prevalent during the day and subside at night. Can't wait for them to kick in, GP swears 100% that by continuing for 4 weeks or so, that it will make me feel myself again. The hardest thing for someone looking for advice is to see the words "everyone's different, it can have different effects for different people", however I would like to say, we are all the same in that we suffer together and by helping one another we will get stronger, i will keep logging my feelings as I go through this journey

    Day 14

    Seeing and feeling improvements now, its such a powerful feeling to feel, especially when the mental struggle throughout the side effects stages being the HARDEST thing I've ever done, now starts to fade away and more happy thoughts and emotions are prevalent, can't wait to see what another 2 weeks will bring!!! Don't give up, don't do it!!

    If i can get this far after the things that were going on in my head then so can you
